Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr has emphasised that the weather conditions in Asaba was the main reason his team struggled in their goalless draw against Zimbabwe in an international friendly game at Stephen Keshi Stadium on Saturday.
Many Super Eagles fans expected a routine win in the match, and Rohr has blamed the heavy downpour prior to kick-off for his side's inability to find the back of the net against the Afcon-bound Warriors.
"We experienced so much rain already and how to adapt to that type of condition won’t be the same as if there was perfect weather,” Rohr told the media during the post-match press conference.
